Oneirataxia is an internet slang term that describes the feeling of confusion or disorientation upon waking up from a dream. It refers to the state of being unable to distinguish between the dream world and reality, causing a sense of uncertainty or unease.
Examples:
1. After having an incredibly vivid dream about flying, Sarah woke up with a sense of oneirataxia, finding it difficult to differentiate between the dream and her waking life.
2. John experienced oneirataxia after a particularly surreal dream where he won the lottery and suddenly found himself questioning whether it had actually happened or if it was just a figment of his imagination.
